Liberty Park Baptist Church

What Liberty Park Baptist Church does

The Church at Liberty Park is a Southern Baptist congregation located at 12001 Liberty Parkway in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, a suburb of Birmingham. Founded in 1886 as Woodlawn Baptist Church, the congregation relocated to the Liberty Park community in 1994 after a period of numerical decline and rebranded under its current name. The church operates a single-campus model with 13 pastoral and ministry staff, anchored by Senior Pastor Buck Poole (appointed August 2025) and a multi-role team including Worship, Associate, Grow, Missions, Youth, Children, Preschool, Pathways, and Facilities pastors/directors. Worship services are held Sundays at 9:15 AM and 10:30 AM with Bible Study Groups running concurrently.

The church's product surface is a portfolio of ministry programs rather than a technology platform: age-tiered Christian education (Liberty Pals preschool for ages 6 months-5 years, Kids Ministry for kindergarten through 5th grade, Youth Ministry for 6th-12th grade), Adult Ministries, Biblical Counseling, GriefShare support groups, the Pathways Respite Ministry for older adults with memory loss, and a local-global missions program. Distribution is primarily in-person on campus, supplemented by YouTube live streaming, podcast distribution (Apple Podcasts, Spotify), email newsletters via Constant Contact, and a youth SMS keyword service. The underlying technology stack is standard nonprofit SaaS: Realm for church management and online giving, Constant Contact for email, and VBS Pro for vacation Bible school registration. No proprietary technology, app, or AI capability is present.

The business model is nonprofit donation-based. Revenue Streams are tithes and offerings collected in-person and online via Realm (voluntary, no publicly disclosed pricing), and Liberty Pals preschool tuition for 2-5 day programs with extended care add-ons. Mission trips carry participation costs (e.g., $975 per person plus transportation for the 2026 Guatemala trip) that are pass-through rather than profit-generating. Customer segments span the full lifecycle from infant through senior adults, with the primary segment being adults in the Vestavia Hills and greater Birmingham community. The church is independently governed by its congregation with no parent organization, external ownership, or institutional investment.
